Logitech Revue will be updated in the next couple of weeks :-)

I just saw a video from Google with Jurek Foryciarz who is a product manager at Google TV.
About 37.25 minutes in the video the talks comes to the Logitech/Google case.

He says:
"Google will continue providing updates for the Revue box,
one of them is coming in the next couple of weeks.
Logitech is one of our important partners, so dont expect this will be the end of the story with Logitech."

And he smiles .. wonder what this means
Perhaps the first announcement from Logitech has been misunderstood or over interpreted.

Here's the link for you:

"A question from Rio, 'Logitech has indicated that they will not build any Google TV devices anymore. What does that mean for the future software updates for the Revue device?'"

"We will be providing further updates of the Revue device. One coming in the next couple of weeks, and the Logitech alliance is one of our important partners. So, don't expect that this will be the end of the story with Logitech."
( @ 37:23 to 37:54) Jurek Foryciarz, Google TV Product Manager

I had read somewhere that Logitech intended to "support the Revue until the warranties expire". How long is the actual warranty? And I wonder if this new information means Logitech will keep updating the boxes after all the warranties expire.

Apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused, but I realized that this was posted in the Revue forums. Since this was more general Google TV information with minor Sony and Logitech references as discussed by someone involved with Google's development, I decided to post it in the Google TV Development Discussion forum which seemed more appropriate to the context of the video.

Thanks, Toowboy. I will eventually; however, my intentions is to keep it posted here uniquely for a while and allow different web crawlers to find along the next couple of days. That way this site becomes the original source for the transcript. Hopefully, this will generate more traffic here which benefits both the owner and users of this web site.

very well done!! eferz,, i just decided to watch the vid.. and.. mho.. the guy is high enough the chain on product dev.. that if any one knows what going on. whats to come.. i would take his word.. the truth is we dont know.. they know.. and he pretty much answered every question to the best of his ability.. now.. you can be a glass half empty and smashed to the ground kinda cat.. who will always see the cloud before any silver lining.. but i think google need to have sucess with the revue.. and there may be contractual obligations by logitech.. to support the revue even after dropping the line.. i dont know.. but we are not privileged to know just what the contracts between logitech and google stated.. google need as many GTV out in the public as possible.. and they need good public exposure.. every google tv is a proof of concept and revenue stream.. its what they are banking on for adverts. that will grease the wheels of GTV.. there are a lot more facets to the puzzle then well we lost money we are out a here... mho..

any how i will choose to take a higher ups google Project manager over some sensational stilted blogging that is just twitter fodder.. im not 100 percent sure revue develop will not die.. but i have a feeling after reading the transcript and watching the vid... we can have a bit more optimism..

please stop this nonsense. One of my tenant works on the google tv platform, he told me that the revue will get honeycomb google tv and that is it. Google will only fix any bugs that should appear on the platform. If google tv 3.0 comes out the revue will not get it.
